"United States v. Forty-Three Gallons of Whiskey United States v. Forty-Three Gallons of Whiskey, 108 U.S. 491 (1883), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that Congress has the power to regulate the possession and sale of liquor in the lands of and near Native American tribes and upheld an order to seize barrels containing forty-three gallons of whiskey that were being traded on Native American land. The form of the styling of this casethe defendant being an object, rather than a legal personis because this is a jurisdiction ""in rem"" (power over objects) case,"

The hogshead of beer and ale was equal to a quarter of a tun, half a butt, a barrel and a half or three kilderkins. This unit is close in size to the wine hogshead. The barrel of beer or ale"
"As 231 cubic inches were considered to make up a wine gallon, the measure was about 242¼ L. The ale gallon was 282 cubic inches, meaning the quarter of ale was about 295¾ L. Cardarelli also claims it can vary from 17–30 imperial gallons for liquor. Quarter (unit) The quarter ( ""one-fourth"") is used as the name of several distinct English units based on ¼ sizes of some base unit. The ""quarter of London"" mentioned by the Magna Carta as the national standard measure for wine, ale, and grain was ¼ ton or tun. It continued to be used, e.g.,"

The tun (, , Middle Latin: """") is an English unit of ""liquid volume"" (not weight), used for measuring wine, oil or honey. Typically a large vat or vessel, most often holding 252 wine gallons, but occasionally other sizes (e.g. 256, 240 and 208 gallons) were also used.

With the use of aluminium, cans of 375ml became increasingly popular, and then 375ml bottles, named ""stubbies"" because, compared to ""traditional"" bottles, they were ""stubby"". A carton of 9 litres of beer in stubbies (24 bottles) became known as a ""slab"" because, compared to the more cube-like shape of the ""traditional"" cartons, they were flatter and hence like slabs.

From its rebuilding in 1797–99 the brewery had stopped brewing ale and concentrated on porter. From the 1820s enhanced and stronger varieties of porter known as ""Extra Superior Porter"" or ""Double Stout"" were developed in Dublin for the export trade to Britain.

The kilderkin is still currently used. It is the unit of choice of CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, for calculating beer quantities for beer festivals in the UK. Ales are usually delivered in firkins, cider and other drinks are usually in boxes, bottles or other containers measured in gallons or litres, and all (except wine) are sold in pints or parts thereof."
"Alcohol by volume Alcohol by volume (abbreviated as ABV, abv, or alc/vol) is a standard measure of how much alcohol (ethanol) is contained in a given volume of an alcoholic beverage (expressed as a volume percent). It is defined as the number of millilitres (mL) of pure ethanol present in 100 mL of solution at . The number of millilitres of pure ethanol is the mass of the ethanol divided by its density at 20 °C, which is 0.78924 g/mL. The ABV standard is used worldwide. The International Organization of Legal Metrology has tables of density of water–ethanol mixtures at"

Of comparable size to the beer hogshead, the wine hogshead was equal to half a butt or a quarter of a tun. Closely related to the modern oil barrel, the tierce was half a puncheon, a third of a butt or a sixth of a tun. The wine barrel was half a wine hogshead or an eighth of a tun. The rundlet was a seventh of a butt or a fourteenth of a tun. Originally, the tun was defined as 256 wine gallons;"

Although it is common to refer to draught beer containers of any size as barrels, in the UK this is strictly correct only if the container holds 36 imperial gallons.

It is now mandatory for the sale of food to also show metric.

For bars that sell an excessive volume of beer there is the 36 imperial gallon (150 liter/260 imperial pint) keg, however due to its very large size few people can move them making it an impractical choice.

"Note that measurements in this section are in imperial units. Traditional British measures distinguish between weight and volume. American cooks using British recipes, and vice versa, need to be careful with pints and fluid ounces. A US pint is 473 mL, while a UK pint is 568 mL, about 20% larger. A US fluid ounce is of a US pint (29.6 mL); a UK fluid ounce is UK pint (28.4 mL). This makes an Imperial pint equivalent to 19.2 US fluid ounces. On a larger scale, perhaps for institutional cookery, an Imperial gallon is eight Imperial pints (160 imp fl"

Carlton United briefly ""upsized"" to 800 ml; however, this has since been reduced to the original 750 ml.

"Anker (unit) An Anker (usually anglicized as ""Anchor"") was a Dutch unit of capacity for wine or brandy equal to 10 US gallons that was used as a standard liquid measurement. It was most commonly used in Colonial times in New York and New Jersey, thanks to the earlier Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam (later New York City). Many European countries had a different measurement of this unit that varied from 9 to 11 US gallons [equivalent to 7.5 to 9.25 Imperial gallons or 34 to 42 Liters]. 1 Anker ≡ 10 US gallons [8.33 Imperial gallons or 37.8541 Liters]"

In Germany, beer boots usually contain between 2 and 4 litres and are passed from one guest at the table to the next one clockwise.

That being said, beer boots are almost never seen in Germany, even among friends who do drink as much"
"Cask ale Cask ale or cask-conditioned beer is unfiltered and unpasteurised beer which is conditioned (including secondary fermentation) and served from a cask without additional nitrogen or carbon dioxide pressure. Cask ale is also sometimes referred to as real ale in the United Kingdom, a term coined by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), often now extended to cover bottle-conditioned beer as well.
